Can An Injury Aggrevate Side Effects? - Hepatitis Message Board

Hi. I was in a car accident and the result is straightening and reversal of the normal lordosis. Narrowing of the right foramen at C4-5. At C5-6, there is diffuse disc bulging with unconvertebral osteophytes. Stenosis of the foramina bilaterally and central canal stenosis. At C6-7, there is left sided disc herniation extending into the foramen producing left sided foraminal stenosis.

I am sure that some of this was initiated by degenerative disease.

My question is, can this sort of injury result in aggrevated side effects from pegintron?

Thanks for any input!

Wes-
Howdy bud, yikes bad back, what you got there is why I am here, back surgery, blood transfusion,HCV.
I am no expert, but in my humble opinion, if you have back pain, and I know back pain, it can not make any treatment user freindly.
For years after surgery, my back was normal, but, unknown to me as my HCV got worse, so did my back pain, during the winter months, I never sat down, because i was scared I would have to stay there till spring, he he.
But heres the kicker, this is the first year in ? that my back feels good, a big improvement, since I have been taken the Pegasys, I can not explain it, but the Pegasys has lowered my rhumotoid count, and resulting in IMPROVED results with my back.

I hope in some way, that your treatment will not be untolerable due to your accident problems, once again I am so sorry that happened, on the bright side, as my grampa used to say, be thankfull your here to b****H about it, he he senile old fart.

You just hang in there bud, my thoughts will be with you and yours.

Be Positve, Be Well+
